std::ranges::drop_view

Member functions

drop_view::drop_view (C++20)

drop_view::base (C++20)

drop_view::begin (C++20)

drop_view::end (C++20)

drop_view::size (C++20)

Deduction guides

 

constexpr auto begin()   requires (!(__SimpleView<V> &&                ranges::random_access_range<const V> && ranges::sized_range<const V>));	(1)	(since C++20)
constexpr auto begin() const   requires ranges::random_access_range<const V> && ranges::sized_range<const V>;	(2)	(since C++20)

Returns an iterator to the first element of the drop_view, that is, an iterator to the N-th element of the underlying view, or to the end of the underlying view if it has less than N elements.

If V is not a random_access_range or a sized_range, in order to provide the amortized constant time complexity required by the range concept, the overload (1) caches the result within the drop_view object for use on subsequent calls.

Parameters

(none)

Return value

ranges::next(ranges::begin(base_), count_, ranges::end(base_)), where base_ is the underlying view, and count_ is the number of elements to skip.

Example

Run this code

#include <algorithm>
#include <array>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <ranges>
 
int main()
{
    std::array hi{ 'H','e','l','l','o',',',' ','C','+','+','2','0','!' };
 
    std::ranges::for_each(hi, [](const char c){ std::cout << c; });
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    const auto c = std::distance(hi.begin(), std::ranges::find(hi, 'C'));
    auto cxx = std::ranges::drop_view{ hi, c };
    std::cout << "*drop_view::begin() == '" << *cxx.begin() << "'\n";
 
//  *cxx.begin() = 'c'; // undefined: 'views' are to be used as observers
 
    for (char c : cxx) { std::cout << c; }
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

Hello, C++20!
*drop_view::begin() == 'C'
C++20!
